Red & White Quilts – 14 Quilts With Timeless Appeal. If you’ve seen the book, now you can see the quilts.
Representing patchwork and appliqué in a classic color combination, the fourteen quilts from the Red & White Quilts book show a diversity of styles ranging from traditional to modern. While the quilts are all two-color quilts, only a few are two-fabric quilts.
Designed and pieced by Lissa Alexander / Quilted by Teresa Silva. Measuring 78.5″ x 96.5″, this quilt looks like it has curved piecing. A clever use of angles and quilting that emphasizes the curves fool the eye.
Designed and pieced by Lisa Bongean / Quilted by Valerie Krueger. This quilt measures 76.5″ x 76.5″ and… it has 3,272 half-triangle squares that finish at 1″. And 364 flying geese that finish at 1″ x 2″.
But the results make it time very well-spent.
Five of the fourteen quilts are made with two fabrics. The rest are a wee bit scrappier.
Pieced, hand-appliquéd and quilted by Debbie Roberts. Measuring 57.5″ x 69.5″, this quilt mixes antique-inspired Turkey Tracks blocks, an appliqué center medallion and a pieced border.
Designed and pieced by Camille Roskelley / Quilted by Abby Latimer. Making a red and white quilt has been on Camille’s to-do list for a long time. Using fabrics from her various collections, Camille’s quilt includes little bits of other colors. Genius.
Hand-pieced, hand-appliquéd and hand-quilted by Jen Kingwell. When Jen’s love of curved piecing and circles elicited an Instagram comment of “enough with the curves”, she used the name for this quilt.
It measures 46.5″ x 46.5″ and can be appliquéd by hand or machine.

Just love red and white quilts! They are awesome!!
I love red and white quilts and actually have one started. The hand embroidered blocks are all done so I just need to decide on the layout and then sew.
Would love to see them in person.They are all stunning..
I saw them today at the International Quilt Show in Houston and they were all spectacular!
That’s quite a powerful line-up of designers, so the book MUST go on my Christmas wish list! I even have the red and white fabrics, I just need the inspiration.
The quilts are amazing! Can’twait for the book:-)
WOW! What beautiful quilts! They will be timeless treasures!
I had the pleasure of seeing some of the collection at the Quilt Festival this past weekend. My favorite was yours, Carrie. The book is on my Christmas list!
Love the red and white (my favorite) quilts! Thanks for sharing!
I really hope Debbie Roberts has a pattern to share for her Turkey Tracts quilt. Is there one available? If so, what is the cost?
